1941-Read

1941 was a another good chapter in the book. I think the people of the bottom rioted for no reason at all. Sula presence was actually a good thing rather the a bad thing after all. Sula's presence made people care for the their lovers more, and mothers take care of their elders. Without Sula the people of the bottom went into turmoil. I think Shadrack set the people up for death. I believe he knew what the people were feeling like, so he picked the right time to do his little National Suicide Day announcement. I'm surprised that Sula didn't sleep with Shadrack before he died. Everyone has their own definition of Sula's birthmark, so I wonder what her birthmark really looks like. In the chapter it doesn't mention anything about Nel, so I wonder if she is still alive in the town. In the next chapter I hope to find out what happened to Nel. The ice storm in the book sounded extremely harsh, and almost unbearable to deal with. I didn't know one storm could last for three months straight. I would have to tried to move somewhere else. 

1941-Will be read...

1941 is a chapter I did not read, I'm going to tonight. I thought we didn't have to read it because we weren't going to be quizzed on it today. Our reading group wasn't assembled last night either so I know others did not read it as well. I was still prepared for my quiz today. I'm sure I passed it. Since joining the reading group I haven't failed a Sula quiz since the first three we took. I'm proud of myself for that personal accomplishment. I wonder what this chapter will contain. I really enjoy reading Sula with the reading group. Canisha makes the book more interesting to read. She incorporates her different southern style accents to suit each character. This creates a vivid image in my head of what the characters look and sound like. I think at the end of the program Canisha should receive an award for being the best mentor in the program. She is the most helpful down to earth mentor, and really makes strides to help students succeed in this program. I see her as a big sister figure in this program rather than mentor.

1940-R.I.P Sula

1940-I want to start by giving Sula a moment of silence. This chapter was very shocking because I didn't know Sula was sick. I wish they told us what illness Sula had. I bet it was AIDS/HIV. If she had that she definitely deserved from all her wrong doings. At the end it was kind of sad how Sula died. I think Nel is a great friend to Sula. After what Sula did to her she still came back, and tried to help her out. I think Nel had the right to question Sula about Jude after 3 years. I thought Nel really loved Jude, but she said he only filled a space in her head. My personal opinion about that situation is Nel was just bluffing. I think she had grown to love him because they were together for 10 years. When Sula's brain said she can't wait to tell Nel death didn't hurt showed Sula actually still cared about her friend. Sula's death confirmed my prediction of the next chapters in the book. I knew something bad was going to happen to Sula, but I just didn't know when. I wonder what's going to happen in the next chapter since the main character has died already.

1939-The Real Sula

1939 was good chapter in my opinion. It contained a lot of graphic description about the sex Sula had with Ajax. Ajax is a smooth criminal with the ladies. If Ajax was in my town he probably be praised by all the guys. Ajax would be a role model to most teenage boys. Every teenage boy would want to have all the girls, and girls to be fighting over them. I know I would want to be just like Ajax if he was a real person in my neighborhood. I know right now in my teenage years I want to be like Ajax, but don't catch any diseases. I don't want to get a girl pregnant either. I would have never thought that Ajax real name would be Albert Jax. I wonder what did Ajax mother really teach him. The book said he was brought up right, but as you read he is a player from the Himalayas. I'm thinking what his mother taught him went in one ear, and out the other. I applaud him for what he did to Sula. What Ajax did to Sula was exactly what Sula's evil ass needed. Sula deserved some bad luck on her.

1937-The Return

1937 is a long but good chapter in the book. Sula returns as a evil diva with her rose birthmark fully developed. Sula is a truly evil person. The way she snapped at her grandmother, and threaten to kill her was very insane. Sula in my opinion did her grandmother a favor. Sula could of just went ahead and kilt her grandmother. I knew something was going to happen to Nel's marriage with Jude. It turned out something really scandalous did occur, and Sula was the cause of it all. Sula is a horrible, manipulative,evil friend. Nel should of at least hopped on Sula's ass, or screamed to the top of her lungs. If I was in that situation I don't know what I would do. I know one thing for sure is I wouldn't marry anyone that wasn't truly in love with me. I hope something tragic happens to Sula later on in the book. Sula and Jude had to be messing around previously because they wouldn't stop when Nel walked in. This chapter is was pretty scandalous, which makes me kind of interested to read the next chapter.
